TOOLS WE RECOMMEND

Recommendations are subject to change as our practices evolve.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Use it. Break it.
Make it better.

Use what fits. Fabrica is early and still evolving, but we use every tool on a regular basis to build a real product. Adopt the tools that help; skip the ones that don't.

Tell us how it works for you. Open a GitHub issue to share what's working, and what could be improved.

Contribute back. Send a pull request, publish a rule, or suggest a third-party tool we should be using.

THE PERSON BEHIND FABRICA

Hi, I’m Josh.

Josh Padnick
Encinitas, California

LinkedIn

Before Fabrica, I co-founded Gruntwork, which we bootstrapped (no investors, no debt) to over $5 million in annual recurring revenue. Gruntwork is the company behind Terragrunt and Terratest, and one of the founding companies of OpenTofu.

I love building useful software and great companies. I’ve launched several commercial products, and built multiple open source tools like Runbooks, Terratest, and now the tools above.

With Fabrica, I want to help others build software with an AI-native approach that makes the work dramatically more productive, and a lot more fun. I’m applying those lessons myself as I build Greenfield, a platform for running an AI-native small business.
